Best 5 Instant Pot Chicken And Gravy Recipes

INSTANT POT® CHICKEN AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine salt, paprika, thyme, pepper, garlic powder, and sage in a small bowl.
• Pound thicker end of chicken breasts to about 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle with seasonings and rub on both sides.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function and high heat. Heat olive oil and cook chicken breasts until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add chicken stock to the pot, scraping up any browned bits off the bottom. Turn off the pot. Place a trivet inside the pot and lay chicken breasts on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes. Switch to the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions to release remaining pressure, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken to a clean plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir to dissolve. Switch pot to Saute function and medium heat. Slowly whisk in enough of the cornstarch mixture to thicken the gravy to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and serve gravy over chicken breasts.

EASY INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Press the SAUTE button on the Instant Pot.
• When the pot is hot, add the olive oil and the butter.
• Add the onion and celery to the pot and saute for a few minutes. Add in the carrots and potatoes, stir.
• Add in the garlic. Cook for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pot to get up any brown bits (deglaze).
• Add chicken and 2 cups of chicken broth and continue to scrape the bottom of the pot again (to deglaze it to keep it from burning).
• Season with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, sage, and thyme. Cook for a few seconds to let the spices become fragrant.
• Place the Instant Pot lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, press the PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL button and set timer for 15 minutes.
• While food is cooking, prepare your biscuits. Roll each canned biscuit flat and cut into 6 equal pieces. Do this to all 6 biscuits and set aside (you can also just cut them and not roll them flat).
• When cooking time is done, do a QUICK RELEASE of the pressure and remove the lid.
• Dump in the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth and then add the sliced biscuits into the pot.
• Carefully place the cut biscuits on top of the liquid in the pot, spreading them out as best as you can. Once all your biscuits are in the pot, DO NOT mix it all together - leave the biscuits sitting on top of the liquid.
• Press the CANCEL button.
• Place the lid on the pot and lock in place. Turn the valve to SEALING. Press the PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL button and set the timer for 10 minutes.
• When the cooking cycle has finished, do a QUICK RELEASE.
